Volunteers, assemble!

Is that reference too dated? I think we’re good. Anyway! Most awesome of art and party loving peoples! The 2021 Seattle Erotic Art Festival is less than a week away, and we need you – yes, YOU – to help make SEAF go!

It’s been two years (TWO YEARS!?) since we were in the Seattle Center Exhibition Hall. Everybody here at SEAF is beyond excited to be back! However, that’s a much bigger space than Gallery Erato. We need all you fabulous volunteers to join us in making our return triumphant.

So why should you volunteer? Well, to start, you’ll have fun! Our volunteers tend to be a diverse group of creative and interesting people with fun stories and unique perspectives. Also, a number of our artists volunteer, and you might get the chance to learn about the art from the source. There’s also a sense of ownership that comes with volunteering; you’re a part of the festival now, not just showing up with your ticket. And you get to step away knowing that whatever role you played, it was important to making the festival a success!

We welcome volunteers from all backgrounds, communities and abilities; however, this year we are only accepting volunteers at least 21 years of age and who are fully vaccinated against COVID-19. All right, that out of the way, let’s talk volunteer perks.

All volunteers receive:

  • Art, stickers, and more swag. (Water bottles are available upon request.)
  • Invitation to attend the Behind the Curtain Opening Thursday October 28th 8-10pm , at the Seattle Center Exhibition Hall
  • Access (during your shift) to the volunteer lounge with snacks.
